I stand with Palestine, and the rare spaces our public can spend time and educate themselves. Genocide is depressing. Hurting books makes me sad.

Ask Just Stop Oil whose attention they get for throwing shit on the Mona Lisa. Are you more aware? Stonehenge. Are you more aware? Private planes. Are you more aware? The audience is everyone who doesn’t give a shit about the protests but instead pearl clutches over the covers of books getting some paint on them. You. You’re the audience because now you’re talking about it and whoever you tell. They’re not targeting book readers, they’re spreading a message.
Stop fucking killing children.
Destroying books because it’s easy just makes people say “fuck gaza” People don’t care if children die when they are powerless to prevent it. All you’re doing is make people hate you and actively work against your goals.
But if that’s what you want, have fun with that.
Because it’s easy? Who did it because it’s easy? Fucking writing on the street is easy but there’s no point, how does that make news? When the goal is awareness, how do you get it except by pissing off sensitive shits like yourself? Being aware of the problem is the first step. Having a wrong opinion about it is on them, they should look more into it but the first step is awareness.
But hey, you wouldn’t say that about BLM would you? That burning the cities and breaking into shops would “make people hate you and actively work against your goals.” would you? Of course not.
Yes I would say that about BLM. Justifying this stupid shit with that stupid shit doesn’t sway me. And no, now that I’m pissed off about this library vandalism, that does not in any way make me likely to support Gaza.
How do you not get that there is no mechanism of incentive here?
No. I already knew about climate change.
No. I already knew about climate change.
I am opposed to spray painting library books. But that does not mean that spray painting library books is a way to recruit my help.
In fact, there is no reason to think it would recruit my help.
